I am an award-winning author currently living on the English Riviera, South Devon, UK, and have travelled extensively across the world, learning about myself and others, and studying differing cultures and beliefs. I have a balanced view on life, and endeavour to make the most of any situation, helping others around me to do likewise. I served with The Royal Corps of Signals, British Army, from 19
80 to 1988, and as an independent financial advisor, from 1988 to 1998, before joining the telecommunications industry and rising to be Senior Technology Manager for Orange Mobile, in 2004. I also served as a Special Constable for South Wales Police, in Newport South Wales, for over 3 years, with the collar number 007. I can share over 18 years of experience of the tourism and hospitality industry, learned from my experiences whilst owning and running The Downs Hotel, babbacombe, The Commodore, Paignton, Lewton Lodge Holiday Apartments, Paignton and Park View R&R, Paignton, Devon. I have learned most things, the hard way and I'm very passionate about helping other B&B and hotel owners, both new and old, to get the best out of their business and to overcome obstacles that have been put in their way, with training courses and advice on all aspects of setting up and running a small hotel or B&B. Currently, I own and operates multiple ventures within the hospitality and property investment industries, where not only do I help businesses but also aspiring entrepreneurs to launch their first businesses and start generating profits from day one. Whether you are in business for the Lifestyle or Business, you need to make a profit for your business to be sustainable and to enable you to 'live the dream'.
